Argentier, John

, born at Quiers, in Piedmont, in
1513, made considerable progress in the study of medicine,
and arrived at great distinction in the theory of his art,
He died at Turin in 1572, at the age of 58. His works
were collected after his death in 2 vols. in folio, at Venice,
1592, 1606, and at Hanover in 1610, which is the most
complete edition. This physician, however, was of lifetle
service to the world out of his library. When he was called
to reduce his observation to practice, he discovered that
he had neither experience nor knowledge of the living
subject; but, devoted to study and theory, he censured the
writings of Galen with much acrimony, which procured
him the title of Censor Medicorum. 2
